November 1, 2013 – BEIJING – Chinese state-run media revealed for the first time this week that Beijing’s nuclear submarines can attack American cities as a means to counterbalance U.S. nuclear deterrence in the Pacific. On Monday, leading media outlets including China Central TV, the People’s Daily, the Global Times, the PLA Daily, the China Youth Daily and the Guangmin Daily ran identical, top-headlined reports about the “awesomeness” of the People’s Liberation Army navy’s strategic submarine force. “This is the first time in 42 years since the establishment of our navy’s strategic submarine force that we reveal on such a large scale the secrets of our first-generation underwater nuclear force,” the Global Times said in a lengthy article titled “China for the First Time Possesses Effective Underwater Nuclear Deterrence against the United States.” The article features 30 photos and graphics detailing, among other things, damage projections for Seattle and Los Angeles after being hit by Chinese nuclear warheads and the deadly radiation that would spread all the way to Chicago. China’s sub fleet is reportedly the world’s second-largest, with about 70 vessels. About 10 are nuclear-powered, and four or more of those are nuclear ballistic submarines capable of launching missiles.

Heavily influenced by Soviet naval modelsthat stressed underwater forces, China’s nuclear submarine development began with the reverse-engineering of a Soviet Golf-class conventional-powered sub in the 1950s. In the 1980s, China developed its first ballistic missile sub, the Type 092 Xia-class, which has 12 launch tubes for the Julang (Giant Wave)-1 missiles. The JL-1 had a limited range and failed multiple test launches. In 2010, a new class of missile sub, the Type 094 Jin class, entered the service. It is capable of launching 12 to 16 JL-2 missiles with a range of about 8,700 miles, covering much of the continental U.S. with single or multiple, independently targetable re-entry vehicle warheads. Chinese calculations for nuclear attacks on the U.S. are chillingly macabre. “Because the Midwest states of the U.S. are sparsely populated, in order to increase the lethality, [our] nuclear attacks should mainly target the key cities on the West Coast of the United States, such as Seattle, Los Angeles, San Francisco and San Diego,” the Global Times said.

“The 12 JL-2 nuclear warheadscarried by one single Type 094 SSBN can kill and wound 5 million to 12 million Americans,” the Global Times reported. China also has developed land-based intercontinental ballistic missiles — notably the DF-31A, which has a range of 7,000 to 7,500 miles. “If we launch our DF 31A ICBMs over the North Pole, we can easily destroy a whole list of metropolises on the East Coast and the New England region of the U.S., including Annapolis, Philadelphia, New York, Boston, Portland, Baltimore and Norfolk, whose population accounts for about one-eighth of America’s total residents,” the Global Times said. All the state-run press reports stressed the point that the PLA’s missile submarines are now on routine strategic patrol, “which means that China for the first time has acquired the strategic deterrence and second strike capability against the United States.” “Our JL-2 SLBMs have become the fourth type of Chinese nuclear missiles that threaten the continental United States, after our DF-31A, DF-5A and DF-5B ICBMs,” said the Global Times. –The Washington Post

Chinese unveil nuclear sub fleet: China has displayed its nuclear submarines for the first time in over four decades to showcase their “excellent safety” record as part of a naval drill. The submarines were shown as taking part in exercises along with naval ships and helicopters. The drill is the first open-sea drill in which maritime and air forces from all three of China’s fleets have taken part, state-run Xinhua news agency reported on Monday. “We are China’s first nuclear submarine force, and the 42 years since our establishment have witnessed our success in avoiding nuclear accidents,” Rear Admiral Gao Feng, commander of one of the People’s Liberation Army navy’s submarine bases, told reporters in Qingdao port. While state television has shown the footage of the submarines taking part in the exercises, which according to the official media is the first time in 42 years ever since it began inducting nuclear submarines in the fleet, the print media highlighted its safety track with no accident record. The exercises in the west Pacific went on “despite foreign disturbance,” the People’s Liberation Army said. Foreign military vessels and reconnaissance aircraft, reportedly from Japan and US remained in the exercise area for an undue time monitoring Chinese activity in the close distance and seriously disturbing the naval drill, reports said. –Indian Express

Who said he was killed? Who said it wasn’t a story for show to make Obama look good? Stop being gullible. Obama has narcissistic personality disorder, he wouldn’t get rid of all “his” nukes unless he believed he had a superior retaliation alternative, perhaps something like lightspeed missiles, space based lasers, who knows, our military has super advanced tech they keep classified. However, he may be so narcissistic and evil as to deliberately allow America to be nuked as “pay back” for his perceived wrongs committed by it. I think rather he is hoping to yield to a Chinese and Russian attack which he will allow to rage for while, killing off the majority of patriots, out of spite and then declaring that there’s nothing more he can do and must save America by submitting. No doubt to me he already has a deal cut in place and a scripted war agreement with China and Russia, maybe even Iran.

If we go to war with IRan that will be the beginning of world War 3. It’ll probably start with a nuclear terrorist attack by al qaeda on US soil where the nuke they used was from Iran. After that America will want blood and vote for someone stupid such as sarrah palin as president. She will anger nations like bush did and push the red button and its all over with. I had a nightmare about this and I hope it never comes true. But if it does your best chance of survival is to either get out of America or head out to sea before the nuclear exchange begins.

oh c’mon what kind of map is this, Eureka, CA but not San Diego, LA or San Francisco, Missoula MT LOL if this is their plan is they must want to come and live in Southern California, even so, if you are not even hitting Portland what would be the point in hitting tiny Eureka CA?

Two possible explanations:
–It is disinformation. Obviously any serious nuclear attack would include L.A. & S.F. as well as Chicago, NYC & D.C–all curiously non-targeted in this map..
–It looks to me like the two targeted locations in California may be the locations of the two commercial nuclear power plants in the state. I cannot speak for the targets located in the other states but perhaps those also coincide with nuclear plants?

No where in the article or map does this say Eureka, CA. Clearly the targets are, Seattle, San Francisco and LA as well as many other targets on the East coast and northern mid west. Furthermore, the article states that this is a capability and more so a deterrent for any action on our part. Remember, China and Russia are STRONG allies……..

Yet, not a word by the US will be said. If this was Iran or Syria there would have already been a strike against them. This should let you know the world is being led by certain people on a pre-determined path.

What do you think is happening here? This is exactly what the few psychopaths controlling and manipulating the masses would want, a total nuclear holocaust between the dumb out societies particularly the US, while they are hunker down in there 90 million dollar bunkers at tax payers expense. They will come out in a few years once the radiation levels have dropped down h to a whole lot of land just for them.

I must say it is a very poor target list compared to other nuclear target maps i have seen ,i would think they would launch ten times the amount shown on this map because ,China would only get one nuclear strike launched before the USA would counter strike with dozens if not hundreds of nuclear missiles .

I just hope and pray they don’t nuke us or provoke MAD. “…And ye shall hear of wars and rumours of wars: see that ye be not troubled: for all these things must come to pass, but the end is not yet….” Mathew 24:6

I see a Chinese Nuc attack against the US as a real possibility. It may not happen for another 10 years or so, but my gut feeling is it’s coming. WW3 is coming, I believe, and it’ll be Nulear. Too many countries have Nucs now with more probably acquiring them in the future. And, with all the Psychopathic leaders of many nations around the world, it just seems inevitable that some Sociopath will “push the button”.

Do you honestly think they would unveil their targets to us the enemy? Duhhhhhhhh.

And to Dave: 10 yrs? Get real. I’d be surprised if it were more than 10 months down the road.. They’d hit it us right now if the powers-that-be say ‘GO’. They’re ready. China’s been salivating for a long time. So is Russian. The planes and ships have us surrounded. Right China?
Oh, I forgot…………..the moon has to be in the right place.

Habakkuk 2:6-8
6 “Will not all of them (Babylons Enemies) taunt him (Babylon/Ameica) with ridicule and scorn, saying,

“‘Woe to him (America) who piles up stolen goods
and makes himself wealthy by extortion!
How long must this go on?’
7 Will not your creditors (Russia/China) suddenly arise?
Will they not wake up and make you tremble?
Then you (Babylon/America) will become their (China’s/Russia’s) prey.
8 Because you (Babylon/America) have plundered many nations,
the peoples who are left will plunder you.

My own opinion, is that China has replaced / will be replacing, Russia, as the Main Rival against the US.
This time around, it is with a special twist – We didn’t trade much, if at all, with Russia during the Cold War.

I wonder what the consequences would be, if the Chinese enacted a Trade Embargo against the US.
Wal-Marx stores, would have to shut down, due to a lack of merchandise to sell. 😐

China and Russia will never nuke the US. The world has thankfully moved on, well sort of. Our world is now ruled by money only. power is now a thing of the past. Take down the US and you commit suicide and all three countries know this.
Look closely at the downgrading now taking place worldwide in military staff and weaponry.
Economics has replaced war and intel is now the weapon of choice.

While I read this page often, I rarely comment, but I thought I would add a little insight to this map. Several of the targets on the map may seem strange to many who are not familiar with military operations and such. There are several targets that may make no sense to most, but those with knowledge of military bases and installations, can tell you these locations are targeted to try to keep the US from firing back; or stop as many ICBs as possible.
People think firing a nuke can be done by simply pushing a button. The procedure is actually more involved than two people turning two keys the same time and punching in a secret code. This is only particially true. In fact, it takes several people in several locations to launch a nuclear weapon. They each have to use their assigned keys and codes, and at that point, the people do not even know what site will launch the missile(s). The system is also set up to launch if another site is taken out before missile deployment. The system is set to launch after a certain period of time if protocol is not followed. This ensures launch if a site is truely hit, but more importantly it is a safe guard in case personelle at one site goes nuts and attempts a launch. People at the other sites can abort the launch if need be.

If you consider the size of the Chinese Nukes you might understand their theory a little better. We Americans use a nice little 25 kiloton Strategic Nuke for a specific task. The 25’s have a nice regularly tested yield that is very efficient with low fallout making the area blasted re-inhabitable within a short period of time. But the Chinese put 200 kiloton to 1 Megaton warheads on their Nukes. They are designed for maximum damage and permanent radioactive fallout over a large area for extended periods of time. Basically it would make the US heartland a polluted bread basket for centuries. But their theory is sound, knock out the majority of the big coastal cities and poison the heartland with fallout. If you turn the west coast to class with 200 kiloton MERV Warheads by carpet bombing cities with them this is exactly what you will get.

Why would China attack the USA? The USA still owes China 3 trillion dollars. That kind of money isn’t chunk change, you know. The Chinese would never let the US default on 3 trillion dollars and why World China destroy them ,lol. You insane people aren’t using common sense. Also, who buy buy Chinese goods? The Chinese economy would go bankrupt, and China would blow up too. Because the Commander in Chief still carrys the football with him everywhere. China isn’t stupid.

For one thing were so much in debt to China,and second China is so toxic, the air is dirty, there is trash all over,not to mention the over crowding.If they tried over taking the United States, it would not be by Nukes, they don’t want to destroy something where they want to live. I know how bad it is over there,I’ve been there, its not all what the tourist guides paint it up to be!!! I stayed over their for a month with some friends, believe me their is no place like home!!!

Resources. resources. After all is said and done, who can recover with the most resources wins. If you call it winning. I always wondered who really believes in time of war anybody really gives a rip about who owes who what. I mean really…do we think 1.5 trillion USD to China matters in the long run if the war drums are beating. Don’t think so. Its never stopped way before.

I have had a vision of this before. Here is the video. Forgive the low quality. You can stop listening at 5 minutes… I just give my own thoughts after that… not worth much. I’ve since learned to not do that!
